I have vision problems and was always afraid of shooting an innocent bystander. I work in the security field...
There are many ways of getting around that fear you know. Such as training to make sure it doesn't happen. But not wanting to use one due to vision issues is definitely understandable.
The echoing of that braindead mindset originally spread by the media is not understandable however. Nobody ever even said that you absolutely must shoot someone with it if you own it. There is no more responsibility with a gun than with a kitchen knife.
So what did help you overcome your fear of not knowing where your bullet will land?
When I went to security school the instructor gave us several examples of security officers in jail for manslaughter. Kinda stuck with me. I had fired guns twice in my life with friends when a teen, then again with the same friends when I was 50. the 2A is what has kept the wolves at bay or we would be well into their plan instead of waking up.
Yes, fired weapons twice, but will go take lessons at a firing range. I bought shooting ammo but will buy target ammo.
